Enterprises are under increasing pressure to digitize their businesses by modernizing app development and IT operations, as traditional approaches simply cannot deliver the competitive advantages or rapid innovation that businesses need today.
Developers and IT teams must adapt to the Cloud-native app development reality because, in a world where organizations are defined by the digital services they can deliver, modern applications aren’t just the backbone of digital transformation, they’re the currency of this digital economy.
At VMware Explore 2022, VMware is introducing advances to its VMware Tanzu portfolio – Tanzu Application Platform and Tanzu for Kubernetes Operations – that unlock developer productivity, deliver end-to-end security from build to production, and enable secure multi-cloud operations at scale, regardless of where they are in their Kubernetes journey.
“Companies face pressure to optimize their application development and delivery efforts for speed, resilience, and security as they move to become a true digital enterprise. Platform teams must focus on delivering a great developer experience and path to production to speed velocity, while also providing a solution for deploying and running apps more securely, reliably, and at scale on any and many clouds,” said Ajay Patel, senior vice president and general manager, Modern Apps & Management Business Group, VMware.
VMware Tanzu is now being adopted by customers across the cloud, edge, and data centers, as they are looking for consistent Kubernetes development, delivery, and management of their highly distributed environments.
“Whether our customers are starting from the data center with existing apps or new apps built in the cloud, VMware Tanzu meets them where they are so they can get their apps to production faster. For those just starting their Kubernetes journey, vSphere with Tanzu Kubernetes Grid helps you get a developer ready platform. For those who have already started with Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) or any Kubernetes distribution, they can use Tanzu for Kubernetes Operations and Tanzu Application Platform for scaling your operator and developer experience,” Patel added.
VMware’s State of Kubernetes report found that 65 percent of organizations already run Kubernetes in production, and 48 percent expect to dramatically expand their adoption over the next year. VMware Tanzu for Kubernetes Operations is the foundation for building and operating a modern container infrastructure at scale across any Kubernetes and any cloud.
According to new data commissioned by Enterprise Strategy Group, Tanzu for Kubernetes Operations delivers 70-80 percent less administrative cost across all Kubernetes operations, 58 percent reduction in response time, and three to five times faster time to value for our customers, simplifying and better securing Kubernetes operations for modern applications.
